You are my favorite of all the filmaking KZbinrs. Appreciate your humbleness and sharing. I have learned soo much from you over the years. Thanks again.

You probably dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend for the last couple of days =)

[@jaysonares2557]

@Jaylen Yousef Yup, been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself =)

WHY I WON'T BUY A NEW CAMERA (222nd edition) Note from Simon's Grandkids: Simon has died and I have inherited the T3i

It's not breaking a "no buying" rule if you get a camera for free lol Awesome video as always

[@kentvincentllano]

rams right 😂

[@fedor3000]

Just a camera ... and a monitor ..aaand a hdmi cable...aaaaaand sound equipment

[@nandoleira]

Yep. Video recorder. Money to rent a place and actors. He kindda only filmed without the tripod.

[@arikhess8320]

Ummm... lights?

[@maxhernie8053]

@@arikhess8320 there were no lights on his short he did

[@jesseb.2128]

Legend has it Simon's Canon T3i is still recording B-roll somewhere. Awesome challenge from Nikon. It's crazy how after all that prep. that you've still got to go with your gut on some things. That's what makes filmmaking fun and stressful at the same time. Good luck with the project! I'm looking forward to seeing the commercial you'll have made on a serious budget.

[@ISRAADVISUALS]

[@theurbanartist775]

Jesse B. I just bought a t3i. Is it a good camera for a beginner? I want to make a short film.

[@johnakridge2916]

This was amazing man. Thanks for the upload and hard effort

Oh man I could listen to you for hours, I LOVE this insight. THANK YOU!

Literally just searched 'Filmmaking' on KZbin and then got a notification from my favourite channel on the site 👌

Finally You Got A New Camera❤🔥

[@ZukoSikhafungana]

Great feeling ever :)

[@KEEPLAYING]

I am currently working on a short film myself so watching your process really helps me learn from your mistakes and experiences. I appreciate this video Simon. Thank you.

[@ThinkingArtEntertainment]

Best of luck with your short film!

[@KEEPLAYING]

@@ThinkingArtEntertainment thanks alot!

[@krabisvalis]

When it will come out?

[@KEEPLAYING]

@@krabisvalis by the end of may bro! Would appreciate if u watch it! Updates on my channel if u wanna follow. 👍

[@PaulPaul0]

I'm very thankful that I've found your channel years ago Simon. All the lesson and focus on the story has made me a better filmmaker and photographer.

[@verosanz]

Panicking is a big part of directing/production, and yet you make everything seem so easy and smooth. You're always such an inspiration and a motivator.

[@verenhimoinen]

Your voice is so relaxing. It's crazy. Never heard a soft voice like that in a man.

[@kamvalenkosi_]

Thank you for taking us through your journey

[@kimsonpro]

I remember my first steps into the video making world, with your guide and some others. And now I'm at a high level in media work class in my country. Still live to watch your videos, because it inspires. Can't thank you enough

[@Christian-fs6yl]

Super helpful for aspiring filmmakers like myself to see how more experienced filmmakers do it, and roll with the punches, and I love the style of the video!

[@solkels_z4794]

man thank you for telling us how a film was shot by so many people working together and the process

[@adornfilms]

Nothing but appreciation and love for your work Simon. Without you, I wouldn’t have progressed as a filmmaker as much as I have. You’ve been a constant reminder on how beautiful art can be and really helped grow my love and appreciation for the love of filmmaking. Glad I found you three years ago!

[@cllgscreative]

Good stuff mate. Always shocked at how hard filmmaking is with every new project. Glad to know it’s not just me. Keep grinding homie.

[@soniromanov]

Welcome to the Nikon family! 🤗🤗🤗

[@agoniavr]

Absolutely love these kind of videos where you actually see what's going on, can't wait for the next part!

[@victorshikhman]

Thanks for giving us a window into the behind the scenes. Incredible how much planning and how many people are involved, even with a "small" shoot like this. You'll be directing in Hollywood soon enough.

[@haziqazman8381]

looking forward to the next part. Great work Simon, super valuable information.

[@lisalawn1111]

Thanks for sharing the "normal" challenges of a video shoot. You Rock!

[@ScottOwens28]

Outstanding work and idea to convey - one cam. Looking forward to the journey. Thanks!

[@usernamehandle]

Brilliant work, can't wait for part two. Really nailed the music and tone of this behind the scenes look... So many document their process but it's annoying to watch because of how poorly the process is explained, or how little effort went into it. Learned more in these 6 mins than I have in the past 10 years.

[@electricshockproductions]

You can do alot of cool things you really show the Necessities of filmmaking instead of what we all think we need

[@peternavanac9310]

Really appreciate the insight you gave as you went thru how you set up the shoot.

[@D4Darious]

Lovin' in.

[@tarunjain1252]

Mee tooo

[@MrApuck4]

You are actually so awesome! I have been following your channel over the last few years and it's been so incredible seeing your journey in storytelling. Can't wait to see the next video :)

[@SammyBFilms]

2 weeks after we take a photo of a black hole, Simon gets a new camera. :-) Serious note: I've heard a lot of good things about the z6. I think it could be my next camera. And I'm still with the T5i!! :-D

[@joshuaherron2190]

Sammy B Films if you’re serious about film making id recommend getting a true cinema camera like the Pocket Cinema Camera 4k. If you really wanna buy a camera, this one a cheaper body. And for the price you’re gonna pay for the camera anyway, you may as well buy a camera that shoots RAW video so that you wont have to buy a new camera in the future. Otherwise you’ll beat yourself up for not having a camera with RAW capabilities. You’ll never say “it’s no RED camera” with the pocket 4k. Just trust the advice & pick the camera that shoots RAW video over the camera that still gives you h.264. Dont listen to all the stuff Nikon tells you about the Z6 being a “cinematic powerhouse.” They just want you to buy their camera. Edit: i just read in the description that Nikon is planning on including RAW in a future update. Woops!! Depending on whether it’s true RAW video codec, it would make the Z6 the cheapest full-frame RAW video camera!!

[@PVMMAC]

T5i with magic lantern still rocks ! :)

[@AlbertLara]

Sammy B Films LOL at the black hole joke.

You never disappoint us with your efforts. Keep going man.

[@simondube1916]

Always loved the way you saw filmmaking!

[@pictureabove1270]

I woke up because I'm really nervous about filming tomorrow, I'm glad I stumbled upon this video...relaxed the hell out of me. It's just me, a canon t5i, three lenses, two actors, and a parking lot. I get nervous with the idea that anything bad can go wrong.

[@extremefilm]

Always fun watching people do something creative. Looking forward to seeing the output too:)

Wow man this is so good! Simon I want to thank you for all these years of dedication.

I haven't seen your channel in a while, but I got a sense of Nostalgia and joy knowing that you are fully dedicated to keep creating amazing stuff! Can't wait for the 2nd part man. Thanks for your dedication Simon! -Santi

[@peterxyz3541]

❤️❤️❤️ this project!!! Nikon Z system: I love everything about that body except single memory card slot. 2,000.00 body, I expect duo slot. I’m sure most people not everyone need duo card slot, congrats on your professional requirements👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. XQD card only is borderline deal breaker: billion dollars for 16gb xqd or under 50.00 for 128gb SD card.

[@BenMoranFilms]

Cool video, Simon! You seem to have a cloud of bad luck over your productions when it comes to actors dropping out! Not that it's ever affected the end product, your films are always great, I can't wait to see this one.

[@erin_vargo112]

So hyped to see the finished film 💯

[@BadKarma714]

You and your videos inspired me to want to become a film makers I got the Canon T2i and then the T3i when I saw that was the camera you used I am 45 and I look up to you because I love the look you can get out of that camera I got my T3i barely used for 200 USD with Kit lens thank you for all your videos and free Education you gave me I am still learning but my weakness is Writing. And planning out shots

[@ThinkingArtEntertainment]

Just keep grinding and you will get better! :)

[@BadKarma714]

Thank you

[@TommyCallaway]

Great work my dude. Love the energy in your videos

[@patrick3415]

Looking forward to part 2! Loved the video! Nice work :)

[@AzUthred]

First I thoght you would make a movie like we all did when we were young, no editing, just a camera. You have to record each shot perfectly for the first time, and record it in sequence. So out from the camera is the final movie. Anyway this is great too :D

[@ExploringWithCam2018]

When making films if something goes wrong, id say thats a good thing. Because without failure we cannot succeed

[@AiurMedia]

what a great story :) looking forward to the next part

[@ryanyackel4295]

[@aebonstudio7193]

I'll be honest, I don't agree with your film making philosophy at all, but I'm very happy to see how far you've come and how much you've grown since the early KZbin days.

[@Solanaar]

Uuuugh, the cliffhanger got me, I'm SO curious how the film will look. I want to shoot fun little movies, but I'm also a sucker for that cinematic feel, so I'm wondering how a more experienced director does this with just a camera.
